Honestly, I'd be perfectly happy if the series ended right here. But luckily there's still another 5 episodes to go. How are they going to top this one?

If it follows the game, it actually has the potential to be emotional too, though not necessarily topping this episode.

I wonder... I might actually be thankful to them (or rather their president, since we now learned that Jupiter didn't know), since because of that incident this episode became so powerful...

They could make it an OVA ^^

But hey, excellent episode. And looks like next episode we'll have some more continuation of the Chihaya story.

At least it wasn't over exaggerated. :D

You've got a point, I did however think that the size of her tears were extremely exaggerated. Those were probably the biggest tears I've ever seen. Kind of distracted me during the emotional moment..

Anime tears always ruin everything.

I've come to realize Idolmaster is a deceptive show at times. Sure, there's all the moe and fluff and it has its boring and generic episodes, but really, for the most part it's a good anime. At first, I actually went into Idolmaster thinking it was going to be a harem ridden with fanservice. Not sure why I thought that...
Glad to know I was wrong on that part. And with this, it culminated with an amazingly directed episode. Chihaya's performance was wonderfully done. What a strong and powerful voice.

Yeah, not gonna lie. I cried a little.

...hoooooooooooly crap. When she sings, the clouds are parted and the sun shines brightly upon us all. That voice...is not just angelic, it's godly.

Why is this series so good?

and...*sob*...why didn't they write one more first phrase on each verse of that ending song...*sob*...them silly idiots...*sob*...

I saw this episode last night and I still have tears in my eyes.

I didn't either, but episode 7 already did that.

Then comes episode 20...

I knew this episode would make me cry, but I didn't expect this much, I LOVED IT!!!


Yeah.

I knew shit was going to hit the fan, and it was only a question of how hard. It it the fan hard. And the dramatic recovery was...absolutely glorious to behold.

Tears were shed for this episode. The music here is just...beautiful.

Problem was the beginning was slow and a lot different from what its become. Many people simply rated it low and left the series before it got better, hence a lot of low scores are stuck in there that probably won't be changed unless people hear it being talked about and decide to give it a second chance.


I'll keep this in mind. I'll rate it high; this series has delivered far more than I expected of it.

250th Vote for 5/5.

This episode took a few hours, a re-watch, and a critical de-construction with resident Chihayafag, Don_Don_Kun to sink in. Truly a SSSSS-rank (how many Ss did Nanoha franchise use?) episode. I have not encountered something this moving in a very long time.

Chihaya wasn't much of a character until this episode.. sadly I felt annoyed with her most of the time.
When her past came out during this episode I couldn't help feeling so much, I shed so many tears seeing her as a little girl, and that f***ing shoe! oh my god! I'm sniffling just thinking about it at her feet on the stage, and they all appear to sing around her and .. it's so wonderful!

5/5!!
